Sometimes, some of those cosmic trips, beside the blisters on feet, they also leave positive aftermath; in this case it is a 45 rpm vinyl which goes to 33 and I can not stop from playing it on my turntable. All these rounds of words to introduce Mr Bonz... Original one-man-band originally from Rennes, France. Listening to the four tracks, produced by German Stencil Trash Records, I understand here that 'original' rhymes with primordial; a raw r'n'r and no bullshit, played using hands, feet, limbs, all of his body, but especially with the heart. Perhaps this tje essential of the essence of this phenomenon I love so much.Mr Bonz starts the first face of Playing with Strings playing Rumble Walk and I have a vision of good old devil Link Wray which is dancing up there in the fucking paradise of immortal r'n'r' icons. It follows Justine; a cover for Don & Dewey (forgotten duo in the purgatory of almost-unknown in between the years 50 and 60), a version which goes coarse and pulled almost punk. An extreme situation, such as those I love to live.The other disc side start with Wild Side! and actually Mr Bonz goes wild. Spit in the kazoo his hellish attitude of rocker, and just as a good rocker Mr Bonz says goodbye with a creepy slow ballad; because, like one of our one-man-band teaches me, rock & roll is especially RomAntic. I'm alone and the French one-man band reminds us once again that often just does not feel so bad to be alone. What can I say more, I can only add to that during your summer travels you will run into some gig flyer of this character, does not throw it to the wind. Keep them in your pocket and mind... guaranteed performance; word of Dead Music.
